rpm 4.19.x bugfix release #3176

Open pmatilai opened 3 months ago

pmatilai commented 3 months ago

There's almost half a years worth of bugfixes accumulated at this point, seems like a good time to cut another bugfix release on 4.19.x. I'd be wary of backporting any features just now, we might want to have another look at that once 4.20 final is out.

During July seems like a good time to do this while 4.20 beta matures.

0644ba5755360cd6a33caa41ea09d3e25096bc72 is obvious enough that it'd probably get picked anyhow, but I think 10043a12be2c0fc516e0fbd0fa82db9b8efb4315 is worth considering as well. I'm seeing people running into dependency loop issues a lot recently, a specific case being https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2291235#c42 where a weak dependency ends up causing a loop in a way the packager almost certainly never considered, much less intended. And, I think there are lots of such loops around because weak dependencies get sprinkled around more freely - it's weak so it doesn't hurt anything right?
